In Colombia, a former director of the secret police has been arrested on charges of aiding right-wing militias in the murder of human rights workers and union activists. Jorge Noguera headed the Department of Administrative Security under President Alvaro Uribe. He’s accused of supplying paramilitaries with a hit list of several names — most of whom were later killed. Noguera resigned two years ago amidst allegations of militia ties. Uribe later named him to a diplomatic position and defended his innocence.
